It was good to see Neeld give Morton a spray. He chose to use his left foot and was lazy with the disposal. Members had a great view of it. Expect more from top 5 draft pick.

    Bump and a half. I thought this thread/topic was dead and buried. Happy Resurrection Day to you.

    Here's another bump. I didn't want to start a new thread, as I'm sure that it will just descend into an inane discussion. But good to have the interview documented somewhere on here I suppose.

    In hindsight Neeld was a terrible coach, and Morton’s development was probably ruined like many others from that period. Shame we wasted all those high draft picks. Hopefully we’ve got it right this time. Still not convinced after another 17th places finish...

    Agreed. Cale mentioned a number of interesting points about facilities (e.g. junction oval), player development, support staff, complacency and others, which gives a fairly honest overview of us at the time.

    Exactly. 

    Neeld was a pathetic excuse for a coach.
     

    One of the worst ever.

    I was all ears for what Cale had to say.

    Until the quiz at the end, and then started questioning whether he would have bright enough to play football.

    Morton's as excited as Brucey boy...  apparent from the 42 seconds to 44 second mark.

    I'm excited...

    Morton's done a few podcast interviews in the last year and they're always pretty insightful (honest discussions always are).

    Same group had one with Russel Robertson last week; that one was very good.

    Simple and straight forward example of why culture is the key to success.

    We do not have a culture and that is one of the reasons Roo's choose Goodwin, as he spoke about culture before his appointment and not strategy and tactics as the soil focus.

    Neeld killed us.

    Sacked Green and installed Grimes and Trengove as a massive mistake. 
     

    Youth went backwards.  Morton gone. Scully jumped.
     

    Saw senior players leave including Rivers, Sylvia, Moloney and James McDonald.  
     

    Brought in Clark and Dawes in massive $$$$ deals

    Green was a very ordinary leader.

    Morton was a failure under Bailey's time.  non contact was a big mistake in Morton's development,  just as it was with Bennell and Gysberts etc. Morton needed sorting out.  It must have been  'fireup', or  'F'  off. 

    His moving on was a bonus for us.  As was Bennell and so many others recruited under Schwab's time.

     

    Scully,  no loss in real terms.  I'm glad now he did go.

    Rivers ageing,

    Sylvia another adding to weak culture,

    Moloney again

    James McDonald was let go by the administration of Cuddles Schwab, etc.  Not Neeld's doing.

     

    So Neeld is guilty of one thing,,,  trying to get the layers to show some fight,  like Watts Morton, Green, etc,  and the likes of Moloney to show less fight and more leadership and healthy culture leadership.

    Neeld came into a basket-case club culture,  and ripped it a new one...  which set the door open for Roosy to enter,  to start the real club rebuild.

     

    Neeld did us a huge favour,  pulling the network of rotten and soft culture apart...   

     

    Roos would not have come onboard  if he had to do the dirty work.  It would have reflected badly on Roos's CV,   IF he had to do all that dirty work.

     

    # edit:  Jnr Mac was the blunder and we pushed the best leader of our club out.

    He was the guy to lead the recovery,  with young kids in Grimes and Trengove learning from his leadership.

    The footy dep't,  F'd-up,  big time.

    Let’s be honest. Cale couldn’t handle the pressure of the AFL Competition, regardless of the situation at the club. 
    Neeld was not a good Senior Coach, but he was bought in to toughen the place up. 
    186 had just occurred 

    The Players had burnt Bailey, even though they all “loved” him

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
